Its been some 7-8 years since I built a kernel for an Intel processor and
I'm getting a bit stuck generating one for my new Zotac single core m/b.

I run Gentoo and I'm creating a diskless boot image for the Zotac on an
amd64 CPU which is causing autodetect problems for CPU type and 64 vs 32
bit. I want to use all the usual MythTV facilities so I'll need to build
all the necessary drivers for a frontend only machine.

I'd prefer as much as possible built into the kernel and no ramdisk image
(no sense in complicating the boot process).

Does anyone have a /usr/src/linux/.config file they can post?

Thanks

Robin, 

  It looks like you're doing pretty much what I did. Gentoo, FE-only, but
mine's a dual-core, not a single-core.  Marc T. is doing a single-core and
is using the same .config as I am now (unless he's made additional changes).

Anyway, I posted my config file at:
http://www.zoomthingie.com/wordpress/2009/08/11/zion-tweaking/

Feel free to read through the adjustments I had to make with the Zotac board
and let me know if you have any questions or see something I've done wrong!

I am still using the same kernel with the modifications that I sent to you
which you noted in your post.

Robin, I built my entire zotac based system before I even had the machine by
chrooting into a folder on my AMD64 backend machine and using a make file I
built for the zotac.

Because they are both 64 bit machines you can build it as a 64 bit system. 

 

Below you will find my make file. I commented out distcc and ccache options
as you will need to know how to set those up before you enable them.
